STRADDLE-ROW PLOW oa CULIIVATOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 365,609, dated June 28, 1887.

Application filed April 15, 1887. Serial No. 234,947. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, THOMAS LACKLIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Trnxton, in the county of Lincoln and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Straddle-Row Plows or Cultivators; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as V will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to makeand use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and

to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form apartof this specification. The especial object of the invention is to make a straddlerow plow which may be drawn by two horses, each of which may walk in adjacent rows and throw the soil from an intermediate row of plants.

Figure 1 ofthe drawings is a perspectit'e View of my invention; Fig. 2, a front elevation, and Fig. 3 a rear elevation.

In the drawings, A A represent two turnplows, connecting with the beams B B and handles CO in the usual or any suitable manner.

D D are two standards just over the rear of plows and bolted. to the outside of beams.

They are connected by eyebolts and hooks d d with a cross-bar, E, having two or more holes, 6, near each end. Thus the plows maybe placed closer to or more remote from each other. In front of the beams and to the clips F, I attach the hooksf, to which are attached the brace-hooks G and the hooks h of the V- plates H. p

I I are two plates twice bent to a right angle at the points i i, and provided at each end with two or more holes, 6 z", to receive a drafthook, .I. At the top the plates I I lap each other, and are connectedrby a bolt or key, K.

On the upper end of the plate I, I form a transverse upturned loop guide, through which passes the upper end of plate I. This loop'guide i prevents the plates from lateral displacement.

By my invention the plows are so connected together that corn may be easily and conveniently barred off at any stage of its growth, when it is advisable to do so.

Having thus described all that is necessary THOMAS LACKLIN.
